Today, I got the opportunity to switch up my schedule a bit and work maintenance at Tettegouche State Park. I started my shift by meeting at the maintenance shop to get briefed on my daily tasks. Today I was tasked with mowing the grass at Eckbeck and Finland State Forest Campgrounds. It was actually one of the first days I got the opportunity to work with the other operations intern Jena Murray. So, we loaded up the equipment needed and headed out to begin mowing Finland State Forest Campground. It took us until about 11:00am to finish mowing Finland, so we then took an early lunch and headed off to Eckbeck. We finished mowing Eckbeck State Forest Campground around 4:00pm where we then headed back to Tettegouche. Upon our arrival at the maintenance…

Later that day I was told by Major Steve Schmidt that you were inquiring the whereabouts of the CID detectives in the dispatch area and you stated in front of Major Schmidt and other civilian personnel that “It’s Friday afternoon I’m sure they are at home”. This was done again in an unprofessional and condescending manner when in fact the detectives were actively investigating a recent homicide. In addition, you have repeatedly referred to Majors and the Chief by their first name on a regular basis. This also is a very disrespectful and unprofessional especially in front of your subordinates. Furthermore, there have been numerous administrative errors that have been documented over the past several years that continue to be a problem for the efficiency of the police department including payroll entries, mileage reports and subpoena processing. Most recently you failed to sign a highway safety overtime detail log. I have also been monitoring radio traffic and your condescending and unprofessional communications have started to affect your subordinates. I have noticed you have failed to give your location when called on the radio which is important not only for officer safety but also for the efficiency of call response. Your subordinates have also started to follow your example and are not giving their…

I failed to be at my place of duty, which costs the Army money for another Soldier who could’ve been at that appointment and been on time. The military can only function if orders, when given, are obeyed. We would like to trust in the honesty and integrity of the Soldiers who made that oath and put their lives on the line for their country. The truth is that there are many out there that, if not given a clear set of rules, will not follow the rules. Will not care about the punishments, will not be productive or efficient members of the military machine.…

There were many things I could have done different in this situation. First and foremost I should have done my job and handled her situation right away. However, that was not the case. Since I did not, there were other ways I could have smoothed things over with Aretha and rectified the situation. I should have answered the phone according to the company’s guidelines of answering before three rings and using the standard greeting. I should have not discussed any personal issues that I was having with her or used those as an excuse as to why I did not return her phone call. I should have gone straight to apologizing for my mistake and resolving the issue.…

During the academic year of 2004-2005, I was on the immediate staff to the Secretary of the Army, Dr. Francis J. Harvey. I had a very tedious work schedule (12 hour shifts) which caused me to be in the office more than at home. During office hours I was unable to work on my class assignments and by the time I would get home, it would be late and I would be in the process of getting ready for the next day and trying to make up time with my husband and daughter. During the mist of all these things, my husband and I started to have problems because of my lack of time with the family which caused a strain in our marriage. I soon realized that…

Arrangements were made to bring CB home and l participated in a Crisis MDT meeting that was held to make these arrangements. He was finally transferred home towards the end of my first week on placement. All preparations had been made to provide palliative nursing care. However, it was evident that staff were not sure what to expect. In the team meetings that followed on CB had there was a sense that staff were not prepared to see the man they had been looking after for so long suffer while they were on duty. In a way this was understandable and also a very difficult situation to blame staff for kind of like walking away on CB during the time he needed them most. It was clear that CB was approaching his end of life within the next few days or weeks. There was no time for training and preparing staff for this difficult time. The emotional impact CB’s illness and the eventual death had on staff was felt by everyone…
